A molecular‐level coding method utilizing DNA base pairs as code units has been systemized. The system consists of four steps: encoding, encrypting, decrypting and decoding (see Figure), which are realized by tailor‐made nanohybrids (DNA–layered double hydroxide (LDH) and polypyrrole–maghemite). The nanohybrids give solutions to the inherent problems which hamper DNA molecular code systems; stability in encrypting and rapidity in analysis.
